[Gtk-sharp-list] Getting started on Mac

[Chuck Esterbrook]

Hi Cody,

Thanks for the help, but there is to '*gtk*' anywhere in my Mono
install directory except:

./Versions/1.2.3.1/share/gtksourceview-1.0

I just found out where the previews are located so I think I'll give
1.9 preview 4 a try and see:
